YouGov polling in 2020–21 found the highest-income Americans were by far the most likely to support defunding the police. Meanwhile, Census Bureau data shows Americans earning under $25k are 7× more likely than those earning over $75k to be robbery victims, 7× more likely to be victims of aggravated assault, and 20× more likely to be victims of sexual assault. The believers can hire private security and live in gated communities — the policy's victims cannot.
